Duties:The Comal County Juvenile Probation Department is supervised by the
Comal County Juvenile Board. Funding for the department comes from both the
State and Comal County, as well as some funding from miscellaneous grants.

The handling of juveniles is strictly
regulated by State Law, but Juvenile Probation is locally administered at
the county level. The ages of jurisdiction in Texas for juveniles are 10
through 16. Intake of all cases is handled through the Juvenile Probation
Department, with probation being ordered by the Juvenile Court and also
through a deferred prosecution program whereby the child does not appear in
Juvenile Court, but is placed on probation by the probation staff.

Probation may include counseling; community service restitution;
financial restitution: group programs; intensive supervision programs; as
well as other programs based on the individual needs of the child.
Residential placements may also be included when deemed necessary by the
Juvenile Court.
